The term identifies the outer edges of a wheel, designed to hold a tire. Specifically, it references those components intended for use on a particular model of a mid-size pickup truck manufactured in the 2017 model year by a specific automotive company. These components are crucial for vehicle operation, providing the interface between the tire and the axle.
Properly selected components of this nature can enhance a vehicle’s aesthetic appeal, improve handling characteristics, and even contribute to better fuel efficiency depending on their design and material composition. Historically, these parts were primarily steel, but modern iterations often incorporate aluminum alloys and other materials to reduce weight and increase strength. Their selection is a critical aspect of vehicle customization and performance optimization.
